“…Implementation of this method toward material sciences and drug discovery has attracted tremendous attention within the scientific community in recent years . Since the discovery of penicillin by Fleming, β-lactams are the most prevalent building block of antibiotics while γ-lactam derivatives represent an important structural scaffold of numerous pharmaceuticals such as α v β 3 -antagonists and brivaracetam drugs (Scheme A). , In addition, the isoindolinone, morpholinone and pyridone classes of heterocycles are prevalent as one of the fundamental functionalities in plentiful natural products and pharmacophores. , Moreover, ε-caprolactam has irrebuttable significance in industrial chemistry with diverse activities viz. synthesis of nylon, paint and plastic .…”
